Tutorial: Macrame some straps for a tube top

The other day I was at the mall and sew some maxi dresses with the most beautiful pieced skirts.  Except they had tube top bodices, and I don’t wear tube tops. The next day I saw this tutorial by Hanna from Pearls & Scissors showing how to add macrame straps to a tube top. The macrame is made from strips of knit fabric.  She was able to match the color to the top, but this could also be fun out of contrasting fabric.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
